The big swath of asphalt and concrete radically changed the landscape through this area, and clearly cordoned off the area around American Tobacco from the neighborhoods to the south and west.

Morehead was rerouted to become, essentially, a service road for the south side of the Freeway from South Duke to Fayetteville. A present day shot of the original path is hard to take, so you'll have to visually trace the line from the Duke St. intersection to the south end of American Tobacco (by Mellow Mushroom) to get a sense of the path.
